This repository contains the special Desktop GUI Application, that will help you to prepare and execute data migration packages using the SFDMU Plugin.
The advanced Salesforce Data Loader SFDX Plugin (SFDMU) will assist you to populate your org (scratch/development/sandbox/production) with data imported from another org or CSV files. Supports Delete, Insert, Update and Upsert for multiple related sObjects.
This application can help you to create SFDMU plugin configuration files from the simple and intuitive UI.
Apart from the minimal setup the export.json file has a lot of advanced properties that can be leveraged in creating and running complex migration jobs.
Therefore in some cases the json file may become very long and hard to edit it manually using the standard Notepad.
Now with this Desktop Application you don't have to work with the Notepad and the Console, because all actions are performed in a visual mode. Now it's very simple to manage the migration jobs. You can add and remove org connections, set up SObjects and fields, then run the Plugin from the application itself.

Normally all major OS (Win, MACOS, Linux) should be supported. It was successfully tested on Windows and MACOS machines.
Sometimes MAC users may have problems installing and launching the Application, because the Electron platform fails to install and run correctly on these local systems. For the current moment we can't provide a reliable solution for this issue.
According to the live experience the Application is always working fine in Windows-based systems.
For the windows-based machines you can try to fix the incorrect electron installation by:
npm install --global windows-build-tools
npm install electron
